Each large comic strip styled page of this 96 page book gives a fantastic overview of each book of the Bible along with little tidbits and great connections to give kids not only a book by book view but the overall thread that starts in Genesis and ends in Revelation.
The book is broken into chapters to give logical places to stop to keep children (and adults) from being overwhelmed by all of the content
I do not usually like busy pages in kids books, but the busyness of the pages in this book works. So much information is given concerning each book of the Bible, I think the authors chose the best format to present it.
What I Like: As a homeschool mom, I try to teach both of my children the same information as much as possible. I was able to read this book to both of my children (ages 4 and 8), and they were both equally engaged.
I also really liked the illustrations. They appear to be hand drawn but they really work with the style of this book. Some of the information has been cleverly inserted into the illustrations, which kept me looking at the pages long after I had read the actual words.
What I Dislike: I really liked this book.
Overall Rating: Excellent
Age Appeal: 6-12 years old
